If you can't understand it, just leave it for now.

Chen Yiyang placed the silver ball aside.

He was more curious about the trouble Sun Xingguo was facing.

Originally, he thought Sun Xingguo came this time to express gratitude. Now it seems, it feels more like coming to seek refuge.

"That rich woman, Liu Zhaodi, said she wants to marry me." Sun Xingguo finally revealed the reason for coming to Jin City.

"Isn't that good? You've got yourself a rich woman, a carefree life for the rest of your life."

"Chen, did you hear clearly? It's not that she wants to marry me, it's that she wants to take me as her spouse." Sun Xingguo said helplessly.

"Liu Zhaodi is powerful in Jin City and is also interested in women. Originally, I thought mixing around her would be good.

Recently, she suddenly wanted to have an heir, so she found me, planning to have me join her family.

Then she'll use technology to conceive with my DNA. After the child is born, I'll be her husband in name, but the child will follow her surname."

"Wow," Chen Yiyang was speechless too.

He was not discriminating against Liu Zhaodi's sexual orientation.

The question is, with your situation, why do you have to have a child?

"I've realized, these women nowadays are monsters and demons. I've just escaped from a wolf den and can't enter a tiger's lair again.

Even if I don't have children in the future, I want to find someone I like and live the rest of my life. Experience marrying someone I don't love again? I can't do it."

Sun Xingguo spoke his mind very frankly.

His previous marriage was already a failure.

He ended up sleeping on the streets after getting divorced.

If he were to marry into Liu Zhaodi's family and something happened later, he had no confidence in winning a lawsuit against Liu Zhaodi.

Because Liu Zhaodi was so powerful in Jin City, after rejecting her, Sun Xingguo was worried about retaliation from Liu Zhaodi, so he fled to Chen Yiyang overnight.

"Then stay with me for now. I'll find something for you to do in a few days."

Chen Yiyang let Sun Xingguo stay first.

He needed someone to help in Shan City, and Sun Xingguo being a familiar face was helpful to him.

Whether it's the food factory or the old Western side, he needed someone trustworthy to keep an eye on things.

So, Chen Yiyang let Sun Xingguo familiarize himself with the surroundings.

Meanwhile, he went to discuss buying shares with Chuanyin's minor shareholders.

In Chuanyin Company's meeting room.

Chen Yiyang brought a legal advisor from Dry Mud Food Factory to accompany him here.

Besides the Chuanyin minor shareholder who originally agreed to meet with Chen Yiyang, Chuanyin's boss Yan Qi was also present.

"Actually, I'm not very willing for Lao Yang to sell his shares."

Today, it wasn't the minor shareholder selling shares discussing with Chen Yiyang, it was Chuanyin's current boss, Yan Qi.

"I believe the trouble we're facing at Chuanyin is only temporary, and we'll definitely resolve it in the future.

On the contrary, Chuanyin now holds a significant market share in Africa, and our company's prospects aren't worse than those big mobile phone manufacturers."

Through Yan Qi's account, Chen Yiyang understood clearly.

Turns out Yan Qi worried that shareholders selling their shares during this tumultuous time would cause unease for other shareholders and investors.

His presence in the meeting room today was ostensibly to examine new shareholders of the company but, in fact, was to persuade original shareholders not to sell their shares.

Hence, Chen Yiyang stated straightforwardly to Yan Qi, "Why do you think Chuanyin's troubles are temporary? Can Chuanyin influence the French Government?"

"You know what we're facing at Chuanyin now?" Yan Qi was caught off guard.

Although the troubles in Africa aren't a secret, it's not reported domestically.

Domestic media barely pay attention to this mobile phone manufacturer thriving in the African market.

"Of course, actually I've been watching Chuanyin for quite a while, not just a sudden whim to buy Chuanyin's shares."

Chen Yiyang said so, but he thought to himself.

Fortunately, Luobu, the German girl, was around; otherwise, I'd really have fallen behind at today's negotiation table.

Yet, Yan Qi quickly caught a flaw in Chen Yiyang's remarks.

"Since you understand Chuanyin so well, and know the troubles we're dealing with, why do you still want to purchase Chuanyin's shares? Doesn't that just show your confidence in Chuanyin's future growth?"

"They're just burning a hole in my pocket, that's all." Chen Yiyang knew negotiating with a boss like Yan Qi meant not following his lead.

Otherwise, any conversation would lead him to a disadvantage.

The main issue now was staying focused on the key point.

The key was, Chuanyin's minor shareholders weren't optimistic about the company's current trajectory and wanted to sell their shares quickly.

Thus, Chen Yiyang directly addressed Yang, the shareholder ready to sell, "Forty-five million in cash, for six percent of Chuanyin shares you hold. If you agree, we can sign the contract immediately. Forty-five million cash will be transferred to your account within three days."

"I agree." Yang didn't hesitate for a moment.

If he doesn't sell, this six percent wouldn't make forty-five million even with annual dividends.

At the current rate of commercial change, who knows if Chuanyin will still exist seven or eight years hence.

Better to sell for cash now.

With only shares, he'd have to hope Chuanyin survives this setback.

But with forty-five million, he could invest in promising fields, perhaps making that sum worth more than entire Chuanyin down the road.

So, it's a very good choice.

"I disagree!" Yan Qi angrily slammed the table, "If you want to sell shares, we'll hold a shareholders' meeting. You can't sell unless over half agree."

"Yan, you might be too busy recently to notice our country's new regulations in 2023.

Shareholders selling their holdings no longer need more than half majority consent, just notify other shareholders.

If others don't wish to purchase under identical terms, those can be sold to others."

Chen Yiyang's legal advisor quickly briefed Yan on the new regulations.

Under identical terms, other shareholders would need to come up with forty-five million cash to supersede Chen Yiyang's purchase.

Given Chuanyin's current situation, it's unlikely any shareholder would be willing to fork out this sum.

Also, if Yan Qi intends to use Chuanyin's funds to buy the shares, it's impossible to get approval at the shareholders' meeting.

Thus, Yan Qi could only stew silently in anger as Chen Yiyang and Yang quickly signed the contract.

After this, Yang just needed to notify other shareholders of this transaction; with confirmation no one wanted to purchase under identical terms, it was formally completed.
